Chapter 73 Disgusting
Huo Beixi gave her a gift, and if she saved Huo Beixi's life, it would be considered as repaying Huo Beixi.

After that, Hua Xiali fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon. He had just had a nap and was sweating all over. He was wet all over and his clothes were sticking to his body. He felt very uncomfortable. Hua Xiali quickly took the thermos to the bathroom, added warm water, and took a simple shower. He immediately felt refreshed all over.

Fortunately, this time, in order to let my eldest sister have new clothes to wear during her college years, I wholesaled some clothes, otherwise the family would not even have any clothes to change into.

After getting herself ready, Hua Xiali went out with her basket. She had to go to the river bank to continue looking for freshwater clams, otherwise they would all become empty shells after a while and be wasted.

Now no one here is engaged in breeding, so she can save some money and this product first, and then be the first person to try it out.

When they arrived at the mud by the river, Hua Xiali squatted on the ground, moving slowly to search. There was still some water in the river, so there was no need to worry about the ones in the river, as they could still live for a while. But the ones in the mud on the shore would not be able to survive, as the mud was almost drying up.

And she was looking for the shore close to their village. There were also some on the opposite shore, but she could only take it one step at a time. After all, she didn't want more people to know about this.

Hua Xiali put the freshwater clams he had picked out together. When there were so many of them, he stood up and looked around, then put the freshwater clams into the space.

There were so many freshwater clams that Hua Xiali was having so much fun looking for them that he didn't even notice it was getting dark. When he came to his senses, he went back reluctantly.

Anyway, she is the only one who knows about it, and no one is competing with her for it. She can just look for it slowly. There is no need to be so anxious. Besides, no one knows how long the river is from upstream to downstream, and no one knows how many freshwater clams there are. If she wants to pick them all up, it is impossible. So she should pick up as much as she can. Don't be greedy and do what she can.

When they returned to Huo Beixi's home, her family members had already arrived. Zhang Yongfeng gave Hua Xiali the money he earned from making the braised food today and the payment for the goods from everyone who came to pick up the goods. Hua Xiali accepted it. After all, he was building a big house for his parents now, and there were many other major places to spend money!
When everyone was sitting together for dinner, Hua's mother asked curiously, "Xia Li, I saw so many river crabs in the yard, what are you doing with them?"

It turns out that this thing is called "Hewai" in local dialect!
Hua Xiali smiled faintly, "It doesn't have any use, I just think it's fun."

If she said she wanted to see if there were any pearls inside, would they think she was fanciful?

If she told them to eat this, they might dislike it, so let's wait until it's cooked and let them taste it. Maybe they won't like it!

After dinner, everyone went about their own business. Hua Xiali asked Huo Beixi, "Can I use the big water tank in your yard? I plan to raise freshwater clams in clean water for a few days, and then break them after they have spit out all the mud and sand."

They were all fished out from the mud. There must be a lot of mud and sand in the freshwater clams. She would then drop a few drops of spiritual spring water on them to make them spit out all the mud and sand, so that she could eat them with peace of mind.

"It can be used." Huo Beixi nodded lightly.

Afterwards, Hua Xiali took the basket to the yard, picked up a basket of freshwater clams and went to the well, fetched water and rinsed the freshwater clams clean.

"Let me do it!" Huo Beixi came over and took the bucket from Hua Xiali, and then took over Hua Xiali's job of washing the freshwater clams. The two of them washed the freshwater clams clean, and then put them into a large water tank and raised them. Hua Xiali secretly dripped a few drops of spiritual spring water into it, and then just quietly raised them for a few days.

In the next few days, Hua Xiali went to the river bend to pick up freshwater clams in the cool mornings and evenings. Gradually, the water in the middle of the river became shallower and shallower, and occasionally big fish could be seen making circles in the water. Hua Xiali could catch any fish she saw, and she didn't have to catch them. So, when she saw the fish swimming around in the water, she went straight into the water, walked to the middle, and caught the fish.

Because the puddle was getting smaller and smaller, the space for the fish to swim became smaller and smaller, so the fish gathered together. After Hua Xiali got into the water, she could feel the swimming fish hitting her legs from time to time. She simply put her hands in the water and walked forward and pulled them back, giving people the feeling of fishing in the water.

Of course, all the fish she caught were taken by her.

She knew there were freshwater clams in the river, so she wore shoes when going into the water for fear of getting her feet pricked. Whenever she stepped on a freshwater clam, she would just pick it up.

This place was upstream, deeper, and the fish were bigger. Although Hua Xiali didn't see the fish with her own eyes, she could feel that the fish she collected in the space were all big.

Although I don’t know what happened this year, it was indeed like this in my previous life. There was no rain for the entire year. It was not until the summer of the following year that it started to rain heavily, with lightning and thunder, which was very scary.

However, most families have dug wells, so drinking water is not a problem. It’s just that the crops in the fields are not doing well because of water shortage!
But this life is different. Their family is rich, and there are many families who make money with them. With money, they can buy food, so they won’t go hungry. Other people’s lives are also better than in the previous life.

Yu Qingxin and his team are still investigating the fire at Hua Xiali's house in the middle of the night. They had previously found wooden sticks that started the fire and the smell of diesel in the backyard of Hua Xiali's house.

The man poured diesel all over the yard and at the base of the wall, then threw a burning stick directly into the yard from outside, ignited the diesel, and then spread it at the fastest speed.

They also found a series of relatively large footprints and took rubbings of them. Today, they entered the village and searched every household for shoes and footprints. There must be people with the same soles, but the size of the shoes and the strength of walking vary from person to person. As long as the shoes are not lost, they can find the person.

Then the arsonist was found after a carpet search. It was Sun Ping, the one who always came to their house to cut off their electrical appliances because he knew a little bit of electrical work.

Hua Xiali had never expected that this man was so vicious that he actually wanted to kill their entire family.

Sun Ping was later arrested by the public security bureau.

Later, Yu Qingxin and others came to tell Hua Xiali's family that Sun Ping had a crush on Hua Chunli, but his mother refused to give the bride price and would not let him marry Hua Chunli, saying that Hua Chunli was well-read and wild, and was not a woman with whom she could live a peaceful life. If he really married Hua Chunli, he would have to wait for Hua Chunli to cuckold him in the future!

Later, Hua's father got into trouble. Sun Ping felt that under such circumstances, if he was still willing to accept Hua Chunli, their family would be grateful to him and would not ask for a dowry.
